Dear Parents,
Tomorrow is a half day so your child will be going home at 11:45.

Writing:
Students had a writing assignment on what they know about the three state branches of government. They had a lot of class time to work on their writing.

Spelling:
5th grade has 5 times each
4th grade also has 5 times and their online work

Language:
Read for 20 minutes and summarize.
They should be writing the date and what they wrote about.

Math:
Both 4th and 5th took their test. Many students should study to look over their test. Some students did not care to study at all and they are accountable for their grade. If they have to retake the test they will get the average of both tests. They should be going on Moby Max Math for at least 15 minutes. They should be studying their Math Facts for 10 minutes.

Science and Social Studies:
Both subjects is on Moby Max and your child should spend about 15 minutes for each subject.

Thank you,
Ms. Mosed

Thank you for coming to the parent meeting! I hope you gained some valuable information to help your child with reading at home. I am always available anytime after school if you have questions or concerns. Or you may email me at moseda1@dearbornschools.org

Please take a look at the following announcement. Please take the online survey by clicking on the link. Thank you for all you do!

This survey consists of two questions to collect parent feedback on the possibility to pilot year-round school concept in one or two elementary schools. One of the arguments for year-round schooling is that children will have better knowledge retention versus having too much of a mental break in the summer. School calendar would be extended to include additional four weeks in the summer. Please click on the link to share your feedback: https://goo.gl/forms/vtnCmpKQYcd6Q4jK2
